Wait, the merger took the combined mass from 240 to 225 solar masses? So 15 solar masses were dissipated as energy? That is an astonishing amount of energy.
It has been *0* days since last " It Doesn't Make Sense" event xD
One of the things I love about your videos is all the “We don’t know “ stories. What an amazing universe we have.
Hello, wonderful Anton; this is Person!
This is like finding a elephant in a room while it can't even fit though doorframe, but the elephant is real and the room is just imaginary ones.
Hey Anton. Sorry about the flood at your place. Just purchased some of your merch, hoping it would help. Best of luck my friend and keep up the good work. Regarding mergers of black holes, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the possibility of such an event happening. Clearly they do happen as we have data to show that they do. But my understanding is that it is extremely difficult for the ordinary matter to go past the event horizon of a black hole. So how much do we understand about the process of 2 black holes merging?
3:34 So the combined masses of the black holes is 240 solar masses, but the resulting black hole is 225 solar masses. If my math is right, that means the 15 solar masses of matter was converted into 2.68 x 10^48 joules of energy in the form of gravitational radiation. To put this in context, our Sun will radiate about 1.21 x 10^44 joules over its 10 billion year lifespan, so it would take the lifetime emissions of *_22,000_* such suns to match the energy this merger released in a *_third of a second._* Perhaps more impressively, during the last 0.2 second of this merger, it accounted for about *_1.7% of all the energy being radiated in the entire observable universe._*
Love to see you recovering from setbacks
Black holes are by far the one thing that a simple model is not that simple. Interesting that we can detect them, but not always be able to decode them. Peace
Lots of LIGOs with precise timing offsets.... with 4 picking up the same signal, we can pinpoint location in the sky! Automate detection and transmit to other networked telescopes (like Vera Rubin) and weigh will finally catch glimpses of these mergers in EM and not just gravity waves!!! Very exciting time for cosmology!
